Of course, anything is possible. I just don't like the idea of having
to handle an extra field just to iron out the bugs others have made.
This is almost like programming for Windows...

Since this problem occurs only on special channels, I'd prefer a "special"
solution that can be completely dropped once the original bug is fixed.
An additional field in channels.conf, once it is there, will always be there...

Of course nobody prevents you from implementing this in your copy of VDR.
